Morocco’s World Cup victory over Belgium sparks riots in Brussels
Brussels: Following Morocco’s World Cup victory over Belgium at Qatar on Sunday, riots broke out in Brussels and several places across the country’s capital. Many soccer fans, including some draped in Moroccan flags, clashed with the Belgian riot police, resulting in dozens of people being detained and one arrest.
During the riots, a car and some electric scooters were set on fire while the riot police unleashed water cannons and tear gas to quell the impassioned soccer crowd.
"The rioters used pyrotechnic material, projectiles, and sticks, and set fire to the public highway. Also, a journalist was injured in the face by fireworks. It is for these reasons that it was decided to proceed with a police intervention, with the deployment of water cannon and the use of tear gas," the police said.
The police spokesperson Ilse Van de Keere updated that the situation was brought under control by 7 pm, with peace returning to the affected regions. "Preventive patrols remain in place in the sectors concerned," he informed.
